#AskAAPM

November 26, 2017

I just remember, Mars at Pards, two years ago, there were two young gentlemen who asked me through my Facebook page what deodorant would I recommend to them.

Two gentlemen asked me two years ago about personal hygiene particularly about how to keep themselves smelling fresh all day.

If I remember it right, I commented on Mommy Pehpot's thread on her Facebook Page when she was asking for suggestions about what good deodorant would be best for lads. Maybe my comment redirected those gentlemen to my Facebook page asking for more details.

Actually, those were only two of a couple of questions that I received from followers and friends within my five years of blogging. Some shared photos showing that they found my tips working for them or recipes worth trying because they found them easy to prepare and delicious. I'd feel so elated and blessed when my loyal followers pin my recipes on Pinterest, share my musings on Facebook, or retweet my twitter entries. Through this, I find more meaning in what I do.

Your feedback makes me very, very happy.

I've started blogging to have a diversionary activity while taking care of my family and small business and give in to my urge of continuing my passion for writing. I never thought that it could be a venue for me to make other people's lives easier, help them choose among practical options, and maybe somehow inspire them to enjoy living despite all odds.

What is my point here? I am thinking that maybe if you have questions or concerns about life, love, relationships, parenting, recommendations, tips, and anything in between that you would like me to answer or topics that you want me to write about, please don't hesitate to send me a private message on Facebook, direct message on Instagram, or email at all.around.mama@gmail.com or the contact form here. Don't forget to use the subject, "#AskAAPM" so that I can attend to you immediately. I will do my best to give you the best possible answer to your question.

Thank you very much, dear Mars at Pards, for your unyielding support through the years. Because of you, I am still here. It is always a pleasure to help you in the best way that I can. It can surely make me the happiest Mama in the world.

#AskAAPM ands I'll be at your service! By the way, I will blog about the answers to the questions of the two gentlemen soon!

Four Useful Tips on Getting Your Kids Interested In Math And Science by Julia Writer

November 21, 2017

Parenting is a huge responsibility. You always want your kids to excel well in important subjects like Math and Science. But the problem is most kids find these subjects difficult.

Most kids fear Math and Science because they are difficult or they find them uninteresting to learn. Here are some useful ways you can make your kids more interested in Math and Science:

Hand, Abacus, Numbers, Math, Companies, Kids

1. Make learning fun and applicable to daily life.

Incorporate Math and Science into daily life by creating activities that children can apply at home. A good example would be cooking with them in the kitchen. You can bake a cake while letting them count and measure the ingredients needed to make the cake. After mixing the ingredients you can interject the different kinds of a mixture and ask which one is a solvent and a solute. You can also explain what happens when water boils and why the toast burns.

Another great activity to get them interested in these subjects is when you go shopping. You can teach them about money, fractions, and prices by making comparisons of which one is better to buy. By doing this, they’ll soon realize the importance of Math and Science in their daily life.

2. Expose them to hands-on experience.

Explore things together to encourage your child to learn Math and Science. One way to do this is by creating DIY projects together. Say for example toys made out of paper or recyclable materials. You can create interactive toys like a dancing puppet robot with the use of strings or a zip-line toy transporter to get the toys moving with the work of gravity.

Why not take your kids to the zoo or the museum? There are numerous opportunities where they can have hands-on experience in learning about the history of technology and how things were made. By exposing them to these hands-on activities, your kids will have a lasting memory that will spark their interest more in learning Math and Science.

3. Praise the process of learning instead of focusing on grades.

Learning Math and Science is tough and can be challenging for kids. Sometimes they feel they’re not smart enough to learn these subjects so they quit. Parents can influence their kids on how they perceive Math and Science subjects on how they praise them.

According to Carol Dweck, a psychology professor, parents praise the ability, talent, or intelligence too much and this is the opposite of good process praise. This is a praise for the process of the child when he engages in hard work, focus, perseverance, improvement, and trying many strategies to learn a certain thing. So whenever your child is doing homework, praise the process and ask a question like “Wow, how did you do that?” while showing interest in what your kid is doing.

You’ve done your jobs as a parent when you see that the fun your kids are having with their homework or projects in Math and Science is greater than the fear they have of failing.

4. Give kids toys and play games that inspire them to learn more.

One of the things to get them more interested in learning is by playing toys and games. This encourages the child to have fun while learning the concepts of Math and Science. A number of great toys for them to play would be building blocks like LEGO, buildable towns or toy cars, and trains with tracks. You could also get them some fun Science experiment kits where they can build their own lava lamps or see what happens when you combine baking soda and vinegar together by making a man-made volcano.

Nowadays, technology influences the young by exposing them to fun friendly games online. There are apps available in the market where they can learn how to code or create their own online games which are really amazing!

These are just a few tips to help your kids be interested in learning Math and Science. What’s important is the goal of incorporating these subjects into their daily life and not forcing them to learn the subject that they might end up fearing. Your role as a parent is to help them foster their interest and passion towards these subjects that would benefit them in the future.

Conclusion

Apart from trying these methods by yourself, you can assign a dependable tuition teacher at home to make your young kids understand and solve Match and Science problems. You easily find Math, Physics, and Chemistry tuition teachers around you. The goal should be to make your kids find these difficult subjects as interesting as early as possible in their life.

Mommy Bloggers Shared the Love to Kids in Marawi Through Nutri10Plus Syrup Vitamin Blog Campaign

November 10, 2017

It is such an honor to be part of Mommy Bloggers Philippines x Nutri10 Plus Marawi Campaign . I may not be present during the distribution of donations to witness the joy that it has brought to the recipients but deep in my heart I know that somehow it has alleviated the trauma and pain of those victims of conflict between the government and Maute-ISIS group. Doing this can make them feel that someone really cares. Who can understand moms and their kids better? Of course, moms like us can. Here is the story:

One of the outstanding qualities of mothers is their devotion to providing quality nutrition to their children. This is primarily done by preparing healthy foods and giving effective supplements to sustain and nourish their growing family needs. Nutri10Plus Syrup, a multivitamins packed with Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), Taurine, Lysine, Zinc and Vitamins C, A, D3 B1 and more, had been assisting mothers all around the Philippines in developing children with strong bodies, active brains and healthy appetite.

During the moving up ceremony where Kaye Koo of SinagTala Foundation helped in disseminating the Nutri10Plus and DayCee vitamin pouches to the kids

Military officers helped in distributing the Nutri10Plus Syrup and DayCee pouches to the kids

In the effort to help our co-mommies and their children in the war-stricken village in Marawi, 100 Mommy bloggers from Mommy Bloggers Philippines community had collaborated to bring boxes of Nutri10Plus Syrup, DayCee Vitamin C Syrup and several toys, to a hundred kids in Marawi through SinagTala, a non-profit organization headed by Ms. Kaye Koo. SinagTala had been sending help to villages in Marawi since the war erupted and it had sheltered hundreds of children inside the Playroom which served as the mini-school and play area of the children.

Through the Nutri10Plus Syrup, DAYZINC vitamins and toys, we wish to help uplift the children’s spirits and restore their health as they start on picking up the pieces of their lives as families.

Each pouch contains two (2) bottles of Nutri10PlusSyrup, two (2) bottles of DayCee Vitamin C and Daycee Chewables

We all thank WERT for this campaign, Kaye Koo of SinagTala and all the staff who have helped in sending the vitamins to Marawi.
